Summoned from AHL Bonk was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Bonk had six goals and 19 points in 46 games during his rookie AHL campaign in 2025-26. He also made an impact in his NHL debut against Montreal on Tuesday, when he notched one goal and one assist in a 4-2 victory. However, Bonk is probably just up with the Flyers in the postseason to be a member of the Black Aces.

Returns to minors Bonk was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Bonk made his NHL debut Tuesday, providing a goal and an assist to lead the Flyers to a 4-2 victory over Montreal. That fantastic performance will help make his case when he's competing for an NHL roster spot during training camp, but for now, he'll focus on closing out the campaign for Lehigh Valley, which will not make the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 21-year-old defenseman has six goals, 19 points and 22 PIM in 44 outings with the AHL squad in 2025-26.

Record-setting NHL debut Bonk scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Montreal. It was his NHL debut.

Impact Bonk is the first Flyers defenseman to score a goal in his NHL debut and the third to have a multipoint effort in his debut. Gord Murphy (1988-89) and Behn Wilson (1978-79) are the others. Bonk came into Tuesday with six goals and 13 assists in 44 games in his rookie season with AHL Lehigh Valley.

Called up Tuesday Bonk was promoted from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and will make his NHL debut against the Canadiens.

Impact The 21-year-old blueliner has six goals and 19 points in 44 AHL appearances in his rookie pro season, after missing the early part of the campaign with an upper-body injury sustained during training camp. Bonk won back-to-back OHL titles with the London Knights and helped them claim the 2025 Memorial Cup, logging 11 goals and 40 points in 52 regular-season games last year before adding 14 points in 17 playoff contests. The 22nd-overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft is considered a top defensive prospect in the Flyers' system and projects as a future second-pairing blueliner. His NHL debut is worth monitoring in dynasty formats, though he carries no redraft value yet.

Returns to AHL Bonk was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact Bonk was up with the Flyers to practice with the team during the Olympic break, and he's returning to the minors without making his NHL debut. The 21-year-old has two goals and six points in 22 outings with Lehigh Valley in 2025-26.

Up from minors Bonk was summoned by Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Impact Bonk has two goals and six points in 22 outings with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2025-26. The 21-year-old might make his NHL debut when the Flyers' schedule resumes next Wednesday in Washington. However, it's also possible that he's simply up to get into some practices with the NHL squad during the Olympic break and will be returned to the minors without getting into a game.

Activated, assigned Tuesday Bonk (upper body) was activated off non-roster injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Bonk was injured during the preseason but was unlikely to make the Opening Night roster for the Flyers regardless. Look for the blueliner to spend the bulk of the year in the minors with AHL Lehigh Valley, though he could be called up later in the season if the need arises.

Flyers Offer Injury Updates for Bonk and Ristolainen - Flyers Nation Philadelphia Flyers GM Daniel Brière provided an official update on injured defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Oliver Bonk on Monday. Flyers...

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • FLYERSNATION.COM

Progressing in recovery General manager Daniel Briere said Monday that Bonk (upper body) is progressing in his recovery, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Impact Bonk was held out of training camp due to his upper-body injury, but his recovery process has been fairly slow. However, Briere said that Bonk is now progressing well, and the team is approaching the process cautiously in an attempt to avoid a setback. Briere declined to provide a timetable for Bonk's return Monday, so it doesn't seem as though the 20-year-old is particularly close to making his season debut.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss two more weeks The Flyers announced Wednesday that Bonk (upper body) will be sidelined for approximately two more weeks.

Impact Bonk continues to deal with an upper-body injury that has sidelined him since the start of training camp, and he'll miss at least the start of the regular season following Wednesday's update. The 20-year-old hasn't yet made his NHL debut, and he'll likely head to AHL Lehigh Valley or OHL London once he's healthy.

Won't play Monday Bonk (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against Boston, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bonk has been dealing with an upper-body injury since the start of training camp, and he'll be forced to miss yet another preseason game Monday. While he's still considered day-to-day, it's not yet clear whether he'll be deemed healthy in time for the start of the regular season. Once he's cleared to play, he'll presumably head to AHL Lehigh Valley or OHL London.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still out of action Bonk (upper body) remains out of the Philadelphia lineup for Saturday's preseason tilt against Boston, according to Bill Meltzer of the Flyers' official site.

Impact Bonk is likely to start the season in the minors as he has been injured throughout training camp. Bonk was selected in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2023 Draft and will probably end up at AHL Lehigh Valley when he is healthy enough to play.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Thursday Bonk (upper body) will not be in the lineup in Thursday's preseason contest versus Washington.

Impact The 20-year-old was selected 22nd overall in the 2023 Draft. He was expected to challenge for a spot on the Philadelphia blue line this season, but the lack of playing time during training camp should find him starting the season in the minors.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Tuesday Bonk (upper body) will not face the Canadiens in Tuesday's preseason game, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Bonk's upper-body issue has been deemed day-to-day, his continued absence makes it less and less likely that he will earn a spot on the Opening Night roster. The 20-year-old blueliner could still make the jump to the professional ranks and join AHL Lehigh Valley this year, rather than returning for one more season with OHL London.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed day-to-day The Flyers announced Thursday that Bonk (upper body) is considered day-to-day.

Impact The Flyers indicated earlier this week that Bonk is dealing with an upper-body injury, and it wasn't clear whether he'd be cleared for contact by the start of training camp. It appears as though he'll have some limitations to begin camp, but his day-to-day designation suggests that his injury is considered relatively minor. If he can return to full health early in training camp, the 20-year-old could have an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Opening Night roster.

Impact The Flyers are awaiting imaging results regarding Bonk's injury, but the 20-year-old has been able to skate despite missing rookie games. The 2023 first-round selection, No. 22 overall, has yet to make his NHL debut, though he'll probably begin his professional career in 2025-26, whether that's with the Flyers or AHL Lehigh Valley.
